[TowerTalk] Guy Anchor Corrosion Question 1

[Tom Rauch]

 There were two guys on each anchor. The top guy was
> Phillystran, with just a 4' piece of EHS at the bottom.
> The bottom guy, attached to the tower at about the 25
> foot level, was EHS all the way, with no insulators.
> The tower is grounded at the base, but there is no
> separate ground rod at each anchor.

You are asking for problems when you electrically connect
anchors to the tower or anything else that might have a
voltage difference to the anchor, including a ground rod or
radials. The exception would be an intentional sacrificial
conductor or something that is the same material.

Over the years electrolysis can eat right through the rod.
